Abstract
Not Reported
Caption: 10x image of expressing cell bodies in medial septum. Red is endogeous mCherry reporter. Green is mouse mCherry primary (1:8000, Abcam-ab125096) and goat anti-mouse secondary stain (alexa 488, 1:500; Abcam-ab150113). Yellow is co-stain overlay. Blue is Dapi.

Tips & Comments
The one tip I would offer would be to leave the syringe at the place of infusion for several minutes following the infusion, and then raise it very slowly. This procedure has been effective for us in minimizing "dragging" the virus up with the syringe and out of the region of interest
